'Tis all speculation until it actually happens. Interesting, but then I guess it's just wait and see time at this point.

Well, easy goer, I heard from my buddy - and now I have seen a WHOLE lot of geological "stuff" that he sent me. My brain is in overload - however ..... I suspect that what you have is a geological "map" overlaid on a USGS topo map with someone's observational (or research) notes penciled in. The act...

Rather than a Topo Map, it seems to be a geological (sub-surface rock type) chart which might (I can't actually see if contour / elevation lines are shown) be projected onto an actual, for real, Topo Map. That's the best that I can make out - working at the ragged and faltering extent of my experien...

A story as Told to Me in My Tent 7 miles West of Nome by Robin, and later his brother, Mark . June of ’05 found me mining on the beaches West of Nome. For miles on each side of Nome the beaches had been declared open to mining for the general public, which allowed anyone the opportunity to work unoc...

Yeah guys - I just have an older model of a True Temper #2 hand held. Really does well on fuel but it also really wears you out!

Hmmm Slatco, There is something that helps to get more bank run through a box -- and it's pretty easy no matter what well running box you use. In the past I've mentioned simply saving all your concentrates over a certain time of running (a day, a weekend, a week or so) and then, at the very last set...

I guess we all have "really cold" stories of our own - mine being the winter of 66-67 where at Mendeltna Creek (it's now called just "Mendeltna" and still found where it always had been at mile 153 of the Glenn) it was down to -151 for a few nights. The big thing is that that was air temperature. No...

Great to hear!
I'm stuck here in the lower 48 this summer due to a medical thing so production is at a firm 0 oz this season.
NEXT YEAR Charlie Brown, Next Year!

One thing that comes to mind is the idea of "circles" (a moving excavation / settling /tailing pit) Dig for a certain interval (lets say 2 or even just 1 day or so) and discharge your new tailings to the side of your new excavation. Then start moving the digging in a circular direction while using y...

It sure is nice to see (and learn) from you "Big Boy Pants" guys about this. At my operation I have to haul my "stuff" sometimes as much as 20 yards from the Polaris six wheeler to "The Spot". All those round trips to hand carry the highbanker, Honda 2" pump, 2.5 gal portable fuel container, True Te...
